Bookmarks

The Bookmarks portlet can be used to create links to URLs and make them available to the Internet Campus Community.

The highest level of grouping displayed is called a Set which is similar to a header.  This provides easy sorting and ordering capabilities.  Within each Set, multiple related Bookmarks can be defined.  You can then assign these Sets to courses and groups.  You can also import Bookmarks that may have been defined in your Learning Management System (LMS).

You can easily manage all of your URLs using the Bookmarks portlet.
